This is a cover illustration for Bauschers seed and plant guide.
Many fruits and vegetables are present. Since there was a difficult time
finding plant documents, I believe that this can work as a visual of
what plants produce. During the big plant lesson, as a class, we can
talk about plants that produce food items. We can talk about what
these plants need, how to take care of them, and who takes care of
them. We can talk about farms and gardens. We can also talk about
the parts of fruit (seeds, core, skin, flesh, etc). As a class, by looking at
the illustration, students can point out what they see. We can label the
fruits and vegetables and make a list. Students can draw their favorite
item and talk about it. I personally love old illustrations like this.
